What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I believe Dobbs shows a straw homburg in their current lineup. -

wind trolley broke
thread revival: missing black button on Borsalino. I recently bought an older Borsalino Homburg. It's a beaut, and Texas Hatters in Lockhart steamed it into shape for my square head, no mean feat. It's missing its black wind trolley button although the cord is still there. Does anyone... -

Chapeau Corot or Dickerson & Co. of Detroit. Anyone here remember them?
Was it also branded "Chapeau Corot"? I'm a newcomer to the world of old hats but feel pretty certain that it was an American made hat. I found nothing at all with Google about Dickerson's clothing in Detroit, but I did see the street view on Google Maps and it does indeed appear as if that... -

Chapeau Corot or Dickerson & Co. of Detroit. Anyone here remember them?
Thank you, LMM. I'm not familiar with Detroit or Michigan, at all. But I gather that it has just about fallen apart. Very sad. Not that retail clothing or small manufacturers are doing so well in very many places, these days. I DO wonder what company actually made this hat, and what the... -

Chapeau Corot or Dickerson & Co. of Detroit. Anyone here remember them?
Bump for pics. At last, old dog learns to post a picture, to wit, the aforementioned chapeau: Maybe not quite "as new," but a necessary hat style in a useful color with an interesting label. I think it's a keeper! Anyone here ever seen this maker before? -

Chapeau Corot or Dickerson & Co. of Detroit. Anyone here remember them?
New acquisition fished from the 'bay: a like new gray homburg labeled Chapeau Corot (reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) Dickerson & Co. Detroit on the liner. Same on the sweatband. The box lid says "since 1866 - Dickerson's - Hats...Cravats - 1558 Washington Blvd. - Detroit" I find no mention of them... -

Do flat caps make you look like a brainless servant?
I think they're the hat for vigorous activities in a pre-ball cap era. So, children playing, men engaged in physical work, and men engaged in active leisure pursuits like hunting, golf, etc. My impression has always been that they were, like knickers, often associated with boys clothing rather... -

Akubra Overload
I really like my new bluegrass Camp Draft. If big is good, is bigger better? In short, should I buy a moonstone Bushman? I realize that asking this bunch is like a gambler asking the house if he should double down... -

Akubra Campdraft
I always thought I knew what silverbelly was, being reasonably familiar with Stetsons, but a Borsalino I bought named that color is a light brown in my book. And the pics I see of Akubra's silverbelly look more like it than like a Stetson, so I'm a bit hesitant to order one but probably will... -

Akubra Campdraft
No, but it's a fantastic color as so many on here say. The hat itself is quite impressive, too. (My first Akubra). I weenied out on shaping it myself, and as I'm travelling to Houston at the moment, I took it by The Hat Store on Richmond and Gary did a fine job of creasing it. I liked his... -

Me too! Chicago customs. Only I placed the order in early December. Hope they don't crease it, I want to have first go at it! Should be styling it by this time next week on the mean streets of Austin, Tex.
